I just spent 25 min on the phone with Dish only to be told the Cleveland HD locals are on 129. This after the first gal told me it was going to be $200 and a 24-month commitment. DOes anyone have the number for techical service

Just did a chat to see what kind of info I would be given and TWO different CSR(s) are still insisting the CLE HD Locals are on 129 - ha ha - Jeesh

I have cancelled my HD install twice in the last 3 weeks solely based on the information here about CLE HD locals on 61.5 and Dish telling me they would be on 129 and 61.5. It still blows my mind that they would of installed a 1000 as late as this past Sat, charge me $75 and then want another...

Well, if this is true, it might be D* time....

Ok - after hearing that the Austin folks have to either 1) commit to 24 months or 2) pay $60 to get their HD locals, I am going to have to lean on the many NE Ohio folks on here. I took the advice of many on here and pushed the HD upgrade (Dish 1000) from March 21 to April 4. Since it now...

This is the best post I have read on any on-line forum in a long time :hatsoff: Well Done!

I lost BTN as well and I am a AT200 sub in Ohio. I was told that on CSR chat that since I had an 4/4 HD upgrade w/ Dish 1000 scheduled I would get it back. I specifically asked "what if I wasn't upgrading, I still have AT200, so would I still get the channel?" - his answer was "No", which made...

That was me - a local told me that and a Dish CSR told me that (re: the CLE locals only on 61.5 for tests and moving to 129). Believe me, I am just trying to figure out why I would be scheduled for install of a Dish 1000 when supposedly my locals will be lit on a bird my new dish won't be able...

Just an update – took some of the forum’s advice and pushed the install to April 4th. Like I said earlier, stopped by a local retailer last night to speak to someone face to face. They seemed to be as surprised as I was to see Cleveland dropped from the list. I told them I had a scheduled...

I stopped by a local retailer on the way home and they knew nothing about Cleveland being dropped off the list. What is interesting is that they did say they were just testing on 61.5 and it really was going on 129? Go figure. The two retailers there both told me to drop dish and go with direct...

Couldn't I just keep the 500 for the 61.5? This whole process seems much more of a headache than it needs to be - jeesh.

A couple more for you guys…….. If I am I reading this correctly re: the Dish 1000.2 – sees 110, 119, 129 and input for a 4th. Could the 4th input be 61.5? Would Dish seriously allow their techs to install a Dish that won’t pick up something that they know will be available in another week (ie...

I have Dish coming to upgrade me on Friday. This appt was set up before the unfortunate failed launch last wknd. I currently have the 200 package and SD locals on Dish 500 and 522 CVR/receiver. They will be updating me to the HD essential package. I was informed I would be getting the 722 for...
